I started studying second week of January, have been putting in 15 hours at least a week, so that outs me at about 100 hours up til now. Its going pretty well--just been using the MERM and my old textbooks for more detail, extra questions, particularly in fluids. I was leaning toward MD depth but will probably go with Fluids depth, as I feel much more comfortable as of now. I am not through the MD chapter in MERM yet, so maybe my decision will change as I do more problems. I don't use either enough in my job to be more confident in one over the other, so we shall see.
After finishing MD chapter and Dynamics chapter, I will do problems full on until test time, dialing in the MERM and becoming more intimate with it and putting together a 3-ring binder of all the appendices and useful formulas. I plan on doing problems in the "the other board" sample questions, the "the other board" sample test and then 2 weeks before, do the NCEES test.
I am very nervous about this test and hope to all hell this is the only time I will take it and if it is, THIS IS THE LAST TEST I WILL EVER TAKE IN MY LIFE haha
This board is very useful so if I do pass, you will feel the love...if I dont...well, lets hope that wont happen.
That timer up there is making me antsy--only 50 days, 21 hours and 34 minutes left to study! Better get going!!
